Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of LibRaw installed on the remote host is prior to 0.19.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2234 advisory.

In LibRaw, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the LibRaw::adobe_copy_pixel() function (libraw\src\decoders\dng.cpp) when reading data from the image file. (CVE-2020-35533)

A flaw was found in LibRaw. A heap-buffer-overflow in raw2image_ex() caused by a maliciously crafted file may lead to application crash. (CVE-2023-1729)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update LibRaw' to update your system.
